  abstract: "Early women artists in Texas made meaningful contributions to early Texas art, from the nineteenth century through the latter part of the twentieth century. This book is the result of research from leading scholars throughout Texas, concentrating on the Civil War era to the early 1960s. Surveying the contributions women made to visual arts in the Lone Star state, "Making the Unknown Known" analyzes women's artistic work with respect to geographic and historical connections. Additional chapters focus on individual women and their specific contributions. It offers a groundbreaking assessment of the role women artists have played in interpreting the meaning, history, heritage, and unique character of Texas. Beautifully illustrated throughout with rich, full-color reproductions of the works created by the artists, this volume provides an enriched understanding of the important but underappreciated role women artists have played in the development of the fine arts in Texas. "Making the Unknown Known" further provides a solid foundation for future scholarship concerning this important and under-studied topic"--
